Child welfare NGOs · CRM
Keep the sponsor list out of the notebook and the children out of the database.
A CRM for a child welfare NGO is a single record of sponsors, donors, volunteers, visitors and funders, with the programme each is connected to and the last time anyone spoke to them. GullySales sets up the fields, the stages and the access rules, and your trust owns the data.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What CRM means
A CRM is the record where every enquiry, call and quote is kept against a customer, replacing separate notebooks, spreadsheets and memory. GullySales sets up or cleans an existing CRM and reports from it by enquiry outcome rather than by activity logged.

For child welfare NGOs
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The sponsor list lives in one person's head”
A house parent knows which sponsor writes back and which one lapsed. When they leave or fall ill, the list leaves with them. A shared record holds the history.
“A donor record must not become a child record”
Sponsor details and a child's details must live apart. A CRM that links a named child to a named sponsor can expose a child if the data is shared, lost or exported.
“Funder relationships run on dates”
A CSR committee's cycle, a report owed and a renewal conversation all have dates. A record that holds these stops a funder being remembered only when a gap appears.
“Access should follow role”
The accountant, the programme manager and a volunteer coordinator need different views. Setting who sees what at the start is far easier than fixing it after a mistake.
What we do
What we deliver for child welfare NGOs.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A record design for supporters
Fields for contact, relationship type, programme, source, gifts and last contact, with nothing about any child.
Result: A record that answers who this is and how they came.
Stages for sponsors, partners and volunteers
Simple steps such as enquiry, welcomed, active, due an update and lapsed, written for each group.
Result: Everyone in the list has a stage.
A separation rule for children's data
A written line between the supporter CRM and the child records, with where each is kept and who may see it.
Result: No child's name appears in the supporter system.
Role-based access
A list of who can view, edit or export, agreed with the trustees and applied in the tool.
Result: Access matches the person's job.
Import of the existing notebook
Sponsor, donor and visitor lists entered, tidied and matched, with doubtful entries marked for the staff to confirm.
Result: The old list is in one place and checked.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries logged in the CRM
- Data completeness
- Reports generated from CRM data
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works
How the CRM work runs
The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.
- 1
Map the sales process
We record how a deal actually moves from enquiry to close in your business today.
- 2
Configure stages and fields
The CRM's pipeline and fields are built to match that process exactly, not a generic template.
- 3
Set up automations
Reminders, assignment rules and follow-up triggers are configured so routine steps happen without manual effort.
- 4
Test with real deals
We run the configuration against actual current deals to catch gaps before the whole team relies on it.
Where this fits
Three pieces of sales work, in this order.
This work sits inside sales management. A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3 · you are here
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.
